In this special Halloween episode, we have a spooky Korean urban legend for you, featuring copy editor Brolley Genster.

Our main topic is the world of Korean horror webtoons. Culture reporter Lee Si-jin breaks down the Korean webtoon industry and the horror webtoon genre. We discuss what makes Korean horror webtoons unique, and some of the most prominent adaptations in the last few years. We explore the “K-zombie” genre through a discussion of “All Of Us Are Dead,” and what it reflects about Korean society.

We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, or suggestions for other Korean books you’d like us to review or discuss. Tweet us (Beth @_paperfetishist / Naomi @ngnaomi) or leave a message on The Korea Herald’s Facebook, YouTube, or Instagram page.
